Re: Looking for recommendations on recording mic via usb

I've got a Blue Yeti Mic and I record a live band with it for rehersals.

It took a couple of rehersals to get it to sound good but I am pretty happy witht he results.

I tried to upload a recording for you but the file (MP3) is too big.

Re: Sound quality deteriorates halfway through recording

Hey Koz, I set up and plugged in the Fast Track Pro last night for its first test run (with just electric guitar – no bass or drum kits yet) and so far so good. I ran Guitar > Pedals > Amp and from my last pedal in the chain, I ran a lead from this (has 2 outputs) > Fast Track Pro. Seemed to work OK...

Been recording our bands rehersals just using a Blue Yeti USB Mic > Laptop as a room mic and (once I got all of the levels right) sounds OK. However I have ...

Re: Help Recording Guitars

I'm using a Blue Yeti USB Mic and it took me a while to get the recording input level right with out clipping.

I was listening to it again last night and I was really impressed with how the drums sound.

Re: Help Recording Guitars

Thanks guys.

I probably wasn't clear enough, as I am actually recording my own bands jam sessions, as opposed to going to a gig and trying to record.

Appreciate any and all assistance!

Re: New to Audacity & Recording (Noob alert!) Set Up ???s

Thanks Steve!

Where do I adjust "maximum peak level of around -12 dB"

And should I be doing anything in the 'Control Panel' on the computer in regards to recording input level?
